Wow.
Wow, what a crazy weekend. After that 3am start on Friday morning, we had some hardware issues, and I ended up working until 4am Saturday morning, and finally got home to bed at 5.30am. I felt pretty bad about this late on Saturday afternoon, when I woke up, as Jake was staying at my place, and I had basically slept the whole day away.
Fortunately, it turns out that Cathy was being very sneaky, and Jake and everyone else had played their parts perfectly (at least to my befuddled, sleep deprived mind) and the dinner I thought I was having alone with Cathy was, in fact, also with Jake, Glen and Diana, and David and Kathryn. So, it seems that I was right when I said that Jake's visit "must be something to do with the fact that I'm getting older."
Dinner was at the Oxo Tower, and was amazing. I think everyone had a great time, even if I was a little spaced out, and the incident with the Russian/Turkish/Unknown man trying to impress his date by buying us bottle after bottle of champagne was just the icing on the cake 
.
Of course, there was more wine and conversation once we got home, and finally managed to get to bed in the early morning. Spent Sunday afternoon with Cathy and Jake mooching about town, and then had dinner and watched the F1 GP at David and Kathryn's. Glen came along too.
So, all up, that was an amazing weekend. Thanks guys!
